Specification of Letters Patent.

PatentedMar. 9, 19125.

Application led January 24,1914'. Seri'al'fNc; 8145086.V

To all 'wom 'it'may 'concern' Be itr known that LJAMES R. RIcimr'rs, a citizenoff the United States, residing at Los: Angeles,rin the county of Los Angeles and" State of` California, have invented a new and useful Stove,y of which` the following is' a specification.

This invention relates. to a gas stove for heating rooms, and one of the main objects isi. to cause theheat to'be thrown forward anddownward. y

Another Objectis to provide for circulating the air into contact with a large heated surface before it passes fromthe stove, and toA keep the air which is heatedand which enters the room', separate rom'the fumes from 'the burner, and' to cause the fumes to be delivered to a flue and discharged, so that thel fumes do not enter the room;4

Another object is to' provide for readily filling the water pan' without removing the same from the stove.

`@ther objects andadvant'ages will be brought out'in the following description.

Referring! to the drawings: Figure 1 is a front' elevation of a gas stove constructedv in accordance with this invention with the outer casing shown as broken away and partly in section. Fig.2*is a vertical section! on line :c2-m2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross section onf line acs-w3, Fig. 2. Fig; is a section on. line 564-4224, Fig. 2.

The stove comprisesl an: outer` casing 1 which is preferably cylindricall asI shown, with a bottom horizontal wa'll" 2,1 supported by legs-l 3. The outer casing 1i has an entrance 4' to admit air to the combustion 'chamber 5 which isf located' immediately above the bottom wally 2. Within the casing 1' is aninner chamber comprising a' cylindrical wall 6 forming with the outer casing' 1` an annular air space 7 and a horizontal walll 8 is arranged at an intermediate 'point in the cylinder 6. The extreme lower end of the cylinder 6 terminatesk as at 9" at a point somewhat above the bottom wall 2 and' the cylinder has an lopening 10` in the front of the lower end? thereof` opposite the burner 11'.

The burner 11is supplied from a uel'inlet'pipe 12 and 13 is a pilot light arranged over the front part ofV the burner 11g in a convenient position for lighting, andfis suppliedI from a pipe 14'.

15 is ai hinged* dbor giving ready' access tothe combustion-chamber 5 for lighting the pilot light 13 and may be provided with a transparentpanel to -afllo'w easy inspection of the flame.

Y The fumes from the burnerare prevented:

from passing directly bythe wall' @and are thrown downwardly thereby and'causedto pass forwardthroughthe. cutout portion- '10 and then they passi upward through 'tlfief'air nular space: 7 v with an oblique rearward movement and' pass out ,of the annular" 'space through the outlet 16, which co'mmunieates with the chimney, not shown., Thi-sf heats the bottom wal-'1.2 and front part of the stove Y o *to very hot. u

series of air tubes' 17 extend; from the bottom. Walla? to' the Wallt 8 Landserve lto eendluct a-ir from the roor'nup vth'rmghv the tubes V17 into the space within the* inner cylinder 6 above the wall'S, this" air i'n passbaille plate`=19 whioh-'dielects this air" toward i? the center and then it is de'ectedl outwardly byf anotherfb'allle plate 20, andv a third; b'a'lile plate 2r againgdelects the air" inwardly. Theil air then passes out through perforations 22in' al plate 23which formstlieupper end? of the stove' and issupportedby'fl'ugs 24, a curved ange 25 being provided" to form al finished' appearance for the top" of the stove,v andto also act to deflect Vth'e lieat which is allowedE tolpass'- out underneath the lower rimthereof'.v Depending from# the plate-23 isf a water tube 26`andbelow" the water tube 26 is a water pan 27 WithanV overflow pipe28 Lugs 29 support the water pan andrbolts" 30 which rest onvthe wafter pan support" the three baillel Quand 21a Y a Water may readily be pouredl directly plates 1'9'5 down thewaterjtube 26 into thel panl 27r so that: suiicient moisture may alwaysz'lieL given oi into the room;
